Q:I have a light beige and ivory rug with blue and green details. It doesn't match my decor, which is neon pink, bright green, and gold. How can I get rid or dye out the blue parts of the rug? What about bleach?

You want to do this at a laundromat, biggest machine possible. in cold water, bleach the rug. It may take two tries---using the largest possible machine, try a cup of detergent and a cup of bleach, and see what happens. If you get the desired shade, or lighten it enough, then you can immediately dye it (To a darker shade, of course.) Otherwise, double or triple the bleach, no detergent, and run it again. You may put additional bleach in the compartment where the fabric softener goes, and it will bleach it again on the rinse cycle. After you dye it, as a courteousy to the next person, run it through a cycle with detergent, empty. Or you can do a load of dark, old clothes, like blue jeans. To dry it, lay it on a flat surface, turning it occasionally, and avoid direct sunlight, ideally it will be in the shade on a warm, breezy day. If indoors, dry it on an old sheet on a carpet, with a fan pointed at it, again, turning it every hour or two. Good-luck---Brian

Q:I have a shag rug in my room. It's right infront of my mirror where I brush my hair, so now there is always hair caught in the shags of the rug. Also, dog hair gets caught in it from my dog. Vacumming doesn't get the hair out.How do you clean a shag rug? I need to get the hair out of it!Help!

I suggest...brushing it/raking it. Sounds weird but back in the 70's when shag rug was in, raking was introduced to the carpets. If you rake it, it combs the direction of the carpet, but also pulls materials in from deep within the carpet. If this doesn't work...try a lint brush with teeth. Not a roller that picks up sticky stuff.

Q:I have a large sisal rug that has been spilled on cat-vomited on, and who knows what else. Trying to spot-clean the stains hasn't been productive. What should I do?

Hey,i happen to have a sisal rug myself!! Firstly, it depends on the kind of sisal rug you have. There are two types: synthetic fiber, which may contain nylon or wool-blend materials; and natural fiber, made of plant products such as sea grass, paper, or coconut fibers. To safely clean synthetic-fiber sisals, follow the manufacturer's directions, which may recommend hot-water extraction or a dry-cleaning method. Manufacturers of natural-fiber sisals suggest only a dry-cleaning method. Do not steam-clean or wet-shampoo; liquids or excessive dampness may cause these rugs to shrink or pucker. For spot-cleaning a stain, lightly mist the area with the manufacturer's recommended cleaning solution (do not pour or heavily apply any cleanser directly onto the rug). Then blot the damp area with a white towel and continue blotting until the stain is removed. A fabric protectant may be applied to both types of sisal rugs during the manufacturing process or by the consumer. But regular wear and tear and cleaning can decrease its effectiveness; it may need to be reapplied.=] thx,

Q:How can I clean my carpet really well without using a steamer/shampooer? There's no stains on it and I vacuum regularly, but when my baby starts crawling i don't want a nasty germy, oil/dirt infested, carpet. What products are good?

I believe that steaming is the best way. It kills the germs.

Q:I have several dogs! Im not sure but isnt partical board that wood thats under the carpet.

Carpet padding is usually under carpet in homes. Under that can be plywood or cement. To get rid of the smell under the carpet, you'd have to pull the carpet. The amount of effort it would take to pull that carpet and to re-install it would be tremendous, and it wouldn't have any guarantees of getting the smell out. You'd be better off getting new carpet padding.

Q:My horse is currently shedding, and i have a rug on him all the time, summer rug during the day, and a winter on at night.Does having a rug on help with shedding?Another question, my horse is shedding very little hair, i can tell he is shedding though, and when my pony sheds she loses a lot of hair from one groom, but my horse hasn't been losing much, will lots more gradually start coming off?

Keeping the rug off, turning him out and letting him roll is the best way of helping the shedding. That's how they get rid of the hair naturally and is part of the reason that they roll. A shedding blade is great too! Is your other horse an older horse as you often find that they tend to hold onto their hair longer when they get older.

Q:HOW TO MAKE A PERSHIN RUG FROM START TO FINISH.

I think you mean a Persian rug. Start tying knots and don't stop until your rug is finished! Read the link...

Q:For the past 6 months or so, my cat has been peeing and pooping on my throw rug (which, just so you know, was an expensive rug from Crate Barrel which I love). My rug is stained from cat pee, and I just had it cleaned deodorized this past weekend in the hopes that she would stop using it as a litter box. I used to think that she did it out of spite, but I can't figure out why she'd be mad at me or my live-in boyfriend (who she belongs to, but we've been living together for about a year and dating for a year and a half, so she knows me well and is very loving towards me). I don't know how to get her to stop using my rug as a toilet. Any suggestions? And, putting her to sleep is not a suggestion. We love her. But, if she doesn't stop pooping and peeing on my rug I don't know what II'll do!

It's best to remove the rug rather than to tempt the cat. Some rugs contain an ingredient in the rubber and fibers that has ammonia so your cat could be marking over it because it smells the ammonia. Rubbing a cat's nose in their business never works as they only learn to fear the person doing it to them unfortunately. If your kitty isn't spayed she could be marking her territory or if she is spayed she may have a bladder infection.

Q:Whether is the carbon crystal electric heating carpet easy to use?

The common electric heating appliance is almost all use the resistance heating principle of the thermal effect, electromagnetism use magnetism. Special column of hair care has it. Fortunately, I know some about this. In addition, semiconductor fever (PTC) makes use of "par" effect of heating (cooling) and microwave. The benefit of this material is that it can be "printed" on the insulating base materials and is easy to flex and fold, volume can also be done very thin, and you come with results, the electric heating effect. It makes use of carbon resistance heating principle, how to solve this problem hairdressing#47, the material is a kind of material that has resistance characteristics graphite. light, radio frequency and laser light.
